Welcome, Beautiful.

We promise an incredible experience of God's love!

BE LOVED WOMEN'S WEEKEND

ENJOY!

The world is a busy place. Between the carpool schedules, your business deadlines, and everyday errands - let's be honest, sometimes you need more than your daily coffee fix to recharge!

The Be Loved Weekend Retreat at Chota Falls will bring peace back to your body, soul, and mind. We will treat you to a beautiful community of women, two Catholic priests who will offer the sacraments, a well-informed team to guide you in the deeper discovery of God's love, an increase in self-knowledge, and tools that will help you flourish when you return home.

Arrival is Friday, 16, 2019, between 4pm-6pm, which will give you time to find your room, settle your things, and explore the gorgeous property. Dinner and Welcome will begin promptly at 7 pm.

Departure is Sunday, August 18, 2019, at 4 pm. We will not allow late entry or early departure times due to the nature of the retreat.

You can expect to meet inspiring women who share your faith, profound prayer, engaging activities designed to teach you through fun, personal attention, and accompaniment.

You will learn and experience so much on this stress-free weekend that we encourage you to bring a friend. You will benefit from having someone close to you that has also made the same experience. We need each other on our journey.

Are you ready to BE LOVED?

BE LOVED RETREAT TEAM

Melissa Foley

The Holy Spirit is your primary guide on retreat! The support team functions like tour guides on your personal journey within - and to God.

As the BE LOVED retreat director, she has dedicated more than fifteen years of her work and personal journey to know, live, and teach women about their true identity in Him. Melissa trained in prayer ministry from John Paul II Healing Center in Tallahassee, FL. She is also a member of the Resurrected Life core team in Atlanta.

Additionally, we are supported by women who have been on a Be Loved retreat (multiple times!). They are trained in identity healing through Resurrected Life Ministeries.

Priest Support

Fr. James Swanson, LC

Fr. James brings his love for making scripture come alive. You will enjoy his personable style during homilies, in the confessional, and even spiritual direction.
